Looking at old aerial pictures, the lot next door seems to have been vacant for about 20 years. |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Schilling1.jpg rescarta.lapl.org Stephenson Avenue is now Whittier Boulevard. It looks like this is the same building (with a little remodeling): http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Schilling2.jpg GSV |

Two screencaps from a new IFC movie called "Maniac", it's about an LA serial killer.

You can probably relate to this undated photo from LAPL. Location is unknown, but because of the source, it was likely taken in So Cal. (Of course, it portrays a scene that could have been virtually anywhere in North America.) http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics34/00066515.jpghttp://jpg3.lapl.org/pics34/00066515.jpg |
It looks like the blue paint on the old Schilling building is a fairly recent addition. Although Google and Bing both show the new color, if you take a step back on Bing you can see the more subtle previous paint job:

There are a lot of interesting signs in this 'flood' photograph from 1938. An added bonus is the Richfield building looming in the distance.

Thank you for that kind Directory assist. Had been wondering whether address changed since a cursory search reveals a residential North Park Ave (~Venice), but no South Park.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Slaterlys1.jpg Ebay The Ebay listing finished back in August, so I had to rely on Google's cached version for the reverse. The text says "Slaterly's Store, South Park Ave., Los Angeles". The seller dated it as 1910s. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Slaterlys2.jpg Ebay |
Lorendoc, the seller of this 1913 snapshot has it identified as San Diego.
http://imageshack.us/a/img35/3656/mxxx.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAN-DIEGO-CA...item5d44acd3fb -but to me it resembles Lookout Mountain in Los Angeles. You're the LM expert, what do you think? http://imageshack.us/a/img46/1306/xtur.jpg ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAN-DIEGO-CA...item5d44acd3fb |
Great collection of hardware store photographs BRR. -and good sleuthing HossC.
Frustratingly, the photos are a jUmbLe to me, so I pieced one together. I really like the 'traveling' arrows on the facade (must have been striking at night). http://imageshack.us/a/img266/1327/pdxx.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img811/9341/vdly.jpg http://collection.pasadenadigitalhis.../id/307/rec/24 __ |
Crash! -at least they can stucco it over.

I did a perfunctory search and didn't see any posts about them, but has anyone mentioned the film The Outside Man from 1971 or 72 that was shot on location all over L.A. and features remnants of the Pacific Ocean Park in Santa Monica, Sunset Blvd. locations, Beverly Hills, downtown and if I'm not mistaken, aerial shots of the decimated Bunker Hill area, among other things?
Also, it seems the film L.A. PLAYS ITSELF must've been mentioned, but I didn't see it. It's a three hour documentary about Los Angeles locations in film, as the title suggests. |
